    Meh. This game doesn't bring anything new. Visually it's a step backward from some of the latest games in recent years. I'm used to a much higher level of quality in animation and detail. It feels like a bad 3rd person Far Cry game without the guns or vehicles - and even those games have become incredibly stale. They need a revamp of their graphics engine, something new and refreshing.Meh. This game doesn't bring anything new. Visually it's a step backward from some of the latest games in recent years.

    I just feel bored with these Ubisoft games... Hopefully, they can turn this around eventually. I didn't feel particularly excited leading up to the release either so all-in-all it's been a letdown.

    Also, so many bugs... so much clipping, and AI is so lame. Another game churned out by a games company on autopilot.

    They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy. They trick you starting off, but a good 20 hours in and its chasing map markers over a huge map thats sparsely populated for quests that aren't all that interesting (except a handfull). Only now there isn't any loot game and the character builds don't feel impactful at all.They said they were going to correct all the issues people had with odyssey, about it just feeling long and grindy.

    I loved this at first, but the more I played, the more I just wanted it to be over. The huge power level gap they throw at you at the end also just doesn't feel good. Its great at first, but as you play it the cracks start to show and despite a large world with a lot to do, theres a point where just....none of it feels interesting or engaging. Its all mediocre at best.    … Expand

    It looks fine. Not as good as HZD for example but fine. Parcour gets worse each iteration. Fighting is clunky, way too easy and boring. Story is uninteresting for the most part. And it's way too long again, witch too little interesting content.

    Another copy past from previous 2 titles + some elements from witcher 3 (but not even good clone) . Very bad and clunky and unpolished fighting animations. some repetitive stun kills. very bad facial animations. Stealth kills mechanism are laughable just look how he kills someone lying on ground.
    very bad AI. the only good part is massive world and some good side activities.

    Basically Origins/Odyssey.
    The Viking setting is amazing, but the game it self is a solid meh.
    A lot of technical issues at my end.
    Story is okay I guess.
    Combat is very repetitive, just like the gameplay itself.
    What can I say, it's a Ubisoft game.

    The game is clearly not finished, however Ubisoft is still selling this product asking for full price. I got stuck on the very first quest ("A Seer's Solace"), a bug that breaks the main storyline and the only solution is to delete saves and reinstall the game (as suggested by Ubisoft!). Are you f**** kidding me? There should be lawyers pounding on their office doors for christ's sake.The game is clearly not finished, however Ubisoft is still selling this product asking for full price.

    Maybe a 3 depends where your at in the game. I've clocked far over 500 hours into this series I always finish them.

Once you hit all but one loot cache you get a one shot and loose your progress. That's fine right except when you glitch in close quarter combat. Patches should not constitute for ubisoft lack of effort. Patches are meant to fix parts not an entire wwe2k20 glitches. Shame on you ubisoft you failed this time.

    So many flaws in an otherwise good game. Can't get away from all the bugs. Which leaves the game good, but constantly annoying to play. Its unrefined, unpolished, premature in its release and otherwise clumsy. It is good, and arden fans should get it. For those who don't. You will not miss anything

    Lacks creativity, Ubisoft killed the franchise.
    The missions are not much intresting ,the combat is quite similar, matter of fact previous ac combat was fun felt like we are a trained Assassin.
    The charm is lost.

    Боевая система стала получше если сравнивать с Одиссеей, хотя хотелось бы большего, пореалистичнее, попадания и движения более настоящими и чувствительными. В том же Синдикате она выглядела лучше и реалистичнее. Графика, прорисовка и картинка однозначно стали лучше. Эти аспекты для меня лично самые важные, всё остальное второстепенно.Боевая система стала получше если сравнивать с Одиссеей, хотя хотелось бы большего, пореалистичнее, попадания и движения более настоящими и чувствительными.

    Un buen juego, renueva la saga aunque no la perfecciona ni hace nada del otro mundo, para los fans de la saga o de este tipo de juegos esta bien, no merece ni la nota que le dan los usuarios de playstation ni la nota que le dan los usuarios de xbox.

    Now my thoughts out of the way, do not buy this game I am being serious, this game is a huge waste of money and time, the sad thing is that really wanted this game to be good, I remember the first showcase in June and I was scared of how **** it looked, but I was like " Nah it will be fine they will fix it", Boy was I wrong, this game is a buggy mess with freeze frames, screen tearing, absolutely stupid A.I. and other tons of **** you at this point they should just stop making games, in general, this game was one of the worst games of this year, no this decade. if you like this game that is good for you and I am actually happy that you found a game in this **** of trash.

    There was so much potential for this game. The graphics are excellent but sadly there is nothing of substance in the gameplay. Combat is repetitive(button mash) and the story is repetitive(befriend clans and raid with them). In a viking game, there is nearly no loot when all vikings did was loot. There is also no stealth opportunities whatsoever. Assassinating is completely gone from the game.

    There are far fewer cookie-cutter outposts than in previous AC’s, and most sidequests now offer an interesting story, sometimes even with a less-than-obvious solution. While some anti-grind measures have backfired, Ubisoft is on the right track. [Issue#250, page 56]

    Assassins Creed Valhalla is a wonderful addition to the AC franchise. It manages to avoid the tropes that became overplayed and focuses on a small well structured story. The fighting mechanics are enjoyable and offer many choices to fit different playing styles. There are a significant amount of bugs and the AI is underwhelming at times. But it's still another step in the right direction for Ubisoft.
